Interviewed by CNN on 30/05/2011 07:53, Neil Winchurst told the world: > Although not new to computers I am fairly new to SeaMonkey. I am using > version 2.0.14.

Well, 2.1 will bring Seamonkey back to parity with Firefox, so roughly anything that Firefox now has and Seamonkey doesn't should come with 2.1. For instance: - Faster Javascript - Improved Video and Audio support (including WebM support) - Sync your bookmarks, history and such not only between different computers, but also with Mobile Firefox in your phone. (To myself, this is the most-eagerly-awaited new feature) - Improved standards-compliance in the rendering engine. and so forth. Of course, any major upgrade comes with a price. Many extensions will have to be re-tested and tagged as "2.1 compatible" before most users will be able to use them again. Some might never be updated because the author abandoned the project. But OTOH, some extensions that depend on Firefox 4 stuff could now be ported to Seamonkey. Win some, lose some... -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
